Welcome! I am glad your search has brought you to my website. I love what I do and I look forward to meeting you. The therapist I am today is built through extensive study and many incredible experiences. First as a musician, then music therapist, and now psychologist. I have been working in private practice for the last 5 years after nearly 10 years working in the mental health field. I'm relatively new to Durham North Carolina, but quickly loving to call it home.
I started my clinical training as a music therapist responding to children with distress Boston after 9/11. I then trained as a Child Psychologist in the San Francisco Bay Area, completing pre-doctoral internships at California Pacific Medical Center, Department of Psychiatry and the college counseling center at California College of the Arts. I completed my post-doctoral training in the Department of Psychiatry at Children's Hospital and Research Center Oakland. I have served as a psychologist staff member at the Ann Martin Center in the East Bay, and have worked for Kaiser Permanente in the Hospital Consult Liaison Service. I find that my extensive background in Child Psychology is incredibly useful in working with adults and couples.
